We discovered Benovia through one of their delicious single vineyard Pinots and decided to give this one a try. It did not disappoint. What a delicious offering. Loads of dark ripe fruit and spice with notes of tobacco that just come together brilliantly.
Juicy plum, black cherry and a hint of cola highlight a soft, round core in this wine. Structured and well integrated in both tannin and oak, it offers a length of baking spice and tobacco, impressing in style and powerful elegance.
Intense and quite ripe, with dried cherry, licorice and pepper flavors that finish with sinewy tannins.
